SUNGLASSES, EYEGLASSES AND WATCHES DO NOT GET AUTHENTICATED ON THIS THREAD. IT IS TOO DIFFICULT TO AUTHENTICATE THEM ONLINE.[/QUO[/QUOTE]
********REMINDER******PLEASE READ*********

In order to avoid forth and back postings, before requesting an authentication, please read post # 2 of this thread (here) for all pictures required for an accurate assessment. Please note that pictures all of the required details need to be of quality: non-angled, crisp and sharp, up close and glare-free. I need to be able to see the detailing and authentications can't be done if pictures are lacking. Also, when posting pictures, pls make sure that they are uploaded straight forward/non-angled, so I won't have to save them on my laptop in order to rotate them to the right angle.

Once you have all the required photos, please post your request in the following template and fill out the following:
- Item name:
- Serial number: (please type out)
- Listing number: (eBay listing #, site listing #, or if applicable)
- Seller: (seller ID)
- Link: (link to the sellers listing in eBay or other selling site. Either active, or expired)
- Comments:

Please note: If your request has no valid link to the listing (that's still active, or has ended) and you already bought/are the owner of the bag, you would need to post a login shot.
Login shot: the bag in front of your device while logged into your tPF account (showing your username). Example here
You can only post a login shot if the item is in your possession.
No login shot is needed if you can provide a valid link.


* I will not do authentications without a without a valid link, or login shot.

* Currently I also don't authenticate items from social media sites like Instagram and Facebook, nor do I authenticate RTW and footwear.

* If you need an urgent authentication and time is of the essence, please consider using a paid service.

* Also please limit your request to one item per post.

Thanks all!!
 
I’ve noticed that these authenticity cards differ in fonts. The one that starts with 16 is smaller compared to the other. Are both legit?

Hey there, So I've attached the extra pictures she sent as well as the link with all the pictures the seller is posted in my original post.

View attachment 4088495 View attachment 4088496 View attachment 4088497 View attachment 4088498 Hey there, so grateful for what y'all are doing btw!
So I would love it if you could authenticate this wallet, the depop seller says the hologram was not there when she purchased it off of EBAY and of course there is no authentication card

Item: Chanel Black CC caviar Leather Bifold Snap Coin Purse Wallet
Serial number: N/A
Seller: @jaydeesthings
Link: https://www.depop.com/jaydeesthings/jaydeesthings-good-condition-serial-code-was

Additional pictures sent by seller have been attached

Thanks so much!!
 
Here are the extra pictures in the second link on the seller's page. IMG_4110.jpg IMG_4111.jpg I've attached them to make it a bit easier. The last picture shows the cut out area where the hologram would have been. This is my main worry, either it's a real Chanel that they took the hologram out of to put in a fake, or it's a fake one and they're trying to cover it up.
